Some people
ask me what the hell am I supposed to be? Am I a poker player, sports bettor,
writer or what…….just what in hell are you? Well it is true that I do many
things but then again that is how I like it because it keeps me sane. My last
post discussed grinding and I still haven’t played any poker that I set out to
do. Think I may need to re-read Dusty Schmidt’s book again Treat your poker like a business which is a book that I have read
numerous times and I advise anyone to read.
I spent
Christmas being ill although that meant that no one came to see me because they
didn’t want to catch anything. End result was that I had a pretty miserable
Christmas and ended up whiling away the hours on the exchanges while the missus
visited friends and family. Still, I am not complaining as I won a few quid but
it kind of left me feeling a bit flat going into January.
I have
worked very closely with betting firms, odds compilers and professional punters
down the years and so I have built up a huge amount of knowledge about all
things gambling. Most of it is crap mind you and useless but it also means that
I am probably the country’s worst gambling anorak. I try not to be a boring sod
in other peoples company and never speak about gambling to anyone…….if you do
then half of them see you as low life anyway and don’t understand.
Next week
will see me back on the virtual felt (promise) and so I may have a few results
to report back although I don’t find anything remotely exciting about quoting
cash game results. Is it any wonder why they don’t get televised to any great
level unless they are high stakes? Except for Sky Poker who do show their cash
games regularly and I frequently switch between Sky Sports News, At The Races
and Master Cash on Sky Poker during the day when I am stuck with some
downtime………what a boring life I lead.
